McCollum talkative after Blazers' Game 7 win: 'I went and got it, Bron style'

CJ McCollum played like a superstar in the Portland Trail Blazers' Game 7 road win over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, and he wasn't shy about it after the game.

When asked about his fourth-quarter chase-down block on Jamal Murray, McCollum - an Ohio native - compared it to LeBron James' famous swat on Andre Iguodala in the 2016 NBA Finals.

"I just went and got it, Bron style," McCollum told reporters. "Shout out to my guy Bron from the 330. It was a mini version of Bron's block on Iggy. ... I definitely didn't get up as high. ... I might get a picture of that one. Hang that joint up."

McCollum also scored a game-high 37 points, including a key mid-range jumper over Torrey Craig to give Portland a three-point lead with 11 seconds to play. Despite one analyst's praise for Craig's defense, McCollum wasn't hearing any of it on Twitter after the game.
